9:05 at CRT, Park opens at 9am

Hi,
We have reservations at 9:05 in June and the park opens that day at 9:00. I was wondering if we would be able to get into the park a few minutes early for this reservation? I also need to rent a stroller and need a few minutes for that as well. I am so afraid we are going to miss the breakfast as there is no way we will get through the gates and to the castle in 5 minutes! I doubt I will be able to change the reservations as this will be our one and only day we will be at the MK.

Thanks!

1) The turnstile CM's let you in 10-15 minutes early to walk to meal.
2) You should be able to walk over to stroller cage and get one rented.

As PP said, you should be fine.

They will let you in 15 mins before your adr.

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks a lot! Very relieved to hear that.

You really should plan on being there quite early otherwise the crowds may be so thick you can't get around to get in early.

We had an 8:25AM reservation on a day that the park opened up at
9AM. We got into the park at 8AM with no problems. We just stood in the line for Breakfast/BBB reservations and walked in with the rest of the crowd.

You will not have any problems.

We'll be taking the bus shuttle from Pop Century at 8am-should take about 20 minutes so I am hoping that 40 minutes will be plenty of time. Hopefully my 2 and 5 year old won't be so antsy to wait! I'm sure they will be doing a lot of this

similar situation for us - 9:15 ADR at Tusker House on a 9am opening at AK. Will they let us in a bit ahead of the RD crowd so we can check in a few minutes before our breakfast?

I would be at your bus stop by 7:40 AM at the latest. The buses do not come on a specific 20 minute window (8 AM, 8:20 AM, and 8:40 AM). They say that the buses come every 20 minutes but we did not always find that to be true with MK buses. You can get in earlier, like maybe even 8:30 AM and take care of that stuff, get your pictures made by the PhotoPass people in front of the castle before everyone else comes in, etc.

There was a post about this further down I think. According to one of the guys, you should get there before 8:40 AM because they will not allow people in past the RD after that point. I would get there at 8:30 AM as well.

Thank you for the suggestion! I am definitely going to ask for a bus schedule when we get to Pop.
